The National Gas Turbine Establishment (known as
NGTE Pyestock) was established in the early 1950s
and was the prime site in the UK for design and
development of gas turbine and jet engines. For over
50 years, Pyestock was probably the largest site of
its kind in the world. Concorde, Harrier and Tornado
engines were tested on site. The test houses could
test Concorde’s engines operating at 2,000 miles per
hour. What was reclaimed from the site? A run of
British industrial pendants with polished aluminium
enclosures by Victor.
